Abstract

The aim of the presented work is to outline a theoretical approach to the integration of robots into didactic contexts, with a specific focus on enactive didactic processes. In the first part of the article we will discuss, respectively, the framework of social robotics and that of enaction. In the second section we will theorize about ways to combine these two frameworks into an effective “Enactive Robot Assisted Didactics”. The final discussion will reflect on the central position that robotic design plays in this cross-fertilization, and the outstanding role that the maker movement can play in this undertaking.
